handguards on a sports bike.

Delivery’s came, so first thing was puting the new belt on the runner, just so I could get it out of the garage. Also came the parts for the english axle, right after I decided to not bother with it.

Yep it looks worse up close. Found the approximate setting for the carbs (one post out there on the net!) no more then 138 main jet and the needle high on the 4th clip

There a bit small for wind protection and no use as crash protection

Also the taper insert thing was too small at 13mm, need one to fit an 18mm id, handle bars are confusing 7/8″ is 22mm so when they say to fit a 22mm bar do they mean 22mm od or id? a 22mm id would be massive.

Need a solid conection at the bar to hold the wind shield, rubber won’t do at 120mph.

Birdies haven a bath on the garage.
